60 years ago, the world was altered forever
Today marks the anniversary of the first nuclear weapon used in war, which was a bomb dropped on Hiroshima. I would rant about why it was necessary and actually the best possible choice for America at the time, but Adam G Partridge at SoapBox Politics has already done so way better than I would. The main point I think to always remember when people talk about nuclear weapons being horrible is that they have saved millions (possibly hundreds of millions) more lives than would have been lost without them. Because they allowed a Cold War to exist through Mutually Assured Destruction, nuclear weapons have been vitally important in keeping the world from entering into another major war.
